    What about the thousands who were killed and injured by both Unionist and Republican terrorists, in acts that were planned over long periods of time. It's been decided to stop those prosecutions and issue amnesties.

    How can the two be reconciled?

    i think you have summed up the situation very well   and i could not agree more

     

    some people will not agree with you but i have not seen anyone offer a good argument for attempting to prosecute soldiers that were under orders some 50 years ago.  if anything i'd prosecute those that advocate persecuting ex soldiers now in their 70s for terrorism.   alleged participants in incidents that happened two generations ago can hardly be judged by a jury of their peers..   at 70 their peers are exempt from jury service.

     

    Almost everything that happened in relation to the 'troubles'  in NI back then was a tragedy most people these days don't know much about any of it and understand even less. so how the hell can judgement be passed on some soldiers whilst some terrorists  are being venerated.


  2. now come on leave corbyn alone he's doing a great job of trying to educate people not to vote labour..  d o we want an other illegal war, do we want a country so deep in debt we are still trying to pay it off with austerity imposed on all of us which by definition  can't afford it...

     

    do want whats left of our gold reserves to be sold off after telling the world we are going to do it to force the price down... yes that happened.

    do yo want yor pensions raiding again because there is too much money in them ... and now surprise surprise there isn't enough in them anymore

    do we want people sending to eastern europe to try and recruit chaep labour with promises of benefits from the public coffers

    im told that both blair and brown both have convictions before they got into politics if thats true how did the rise to such dizzy heights blair its said also was convicted of perjury ....

    I do believe very strongly that they should stil both face charges for what they did to the UK and its indigenous people

     

    don't et me wrong i have never thought we can trust the conservatives

    but i have never doubted that we can't trust labour

     

    so leave corbyn alone he's doing a better job of messing up labour's chances than ed miliband .... why did they pick milband over his brother .... well i reckon its because his brother might have got them a win.


  3. FGM was made illegal here in 1985 the first and only conviction was in 2017 and the mother only got a 11 year sentence which she will no doubt not do all of

    it seems clear to me that whoever it was that passed sentence has no comprehension of what was actually done to that child and the lifelong effects.

     

    call me cynical but i can't help think that the woman fell foul of the authorities for doing it herself

    had she paid some qulified medical practioner to do it or gone abroad like most of the rest do... nothing would ever have come of it

     

    i don't understand why this thread has got hijacked by the anti male circumcision brigade.. go start your own thread and you can talk about penises and your personal fears and hang ups as much as you like.

     

      FGM is exactly that life long mutilation of women's  outer genitals usually removing labia and clitoris. the mental scarring and th efeelings of betrayal arew seldom even mentioned.  

     

    male circumcision on the opther hand is no big deal and is basically just a skin trim which leaves the rest of the penis intact and some say appearance enhanced... were the extremes of fgm to be applied to male circumcision to be applied whoever was doing it would die out.

     

    i have seen the massive personalty changes in young muslim women that were sent or taken 'home' during the school holidays, many that did return came back with pronounced limps.  as of course i was legally obliged to do so (not that i needed to be obliged)   i  reported my suspicions at first to people who had paid responsibilites for safeguarding  and when that failed to social services. as you might imagine   nothing happened.  


  4. may voted remain and now it is startingto look as if she is trying to make sure that do.

     

    of those that were bothered enough to have expressed a preference in the reforendum the outcome was .. we leave

    don't forget we voted to join a common market and then woke up and voted to leave the EEC which we were never asked if we wanted to join.

     

    i still am wondering why we did not leave within the month and stop ANY and ALL immigration at the same time until the population drops to lets say about 50 million or less

     

    as for this damned back-stop thing  why not just give northern ireland their independence and that border would no longer be an issue of concern for us

    Yes brilliant opportunity missed for syt.  Will it happen again!

    Hopefully.

     

    a lot of people sayig positive things about this idea...  i'm just wondering how many of them live close enough to it to be afected by it. this is a busy roundabout now who knows what it will be like if this goes ahead, especially when there is a game on.    if this place and brammall lane both have games on at the same time i can see traffic deadlock.

     

    as for the locals trying to get home and park outside their own houses .....  i guess they can forget about that.

     

    i don't see this being a good thing at all for a lot people and most of them wont be the ones that want it just have to put up with it.

     

    i'll happily sign anything that opposes it.


  6.  i used to live near london road at night and when we'd finished work  in the early hours of the morning we used to use either one out of the only two dirty chicken shops as we called them.  we'd call in most nights till one of got ill than we'd use the other one for a bit... never trusting any of the rest at all...  then the dirty pizza shops started springing up people pretending to be italian with their turkey ham and selling what passes for a kebab... allegedly minced meat on a stick ... not like chubby's or murdocks where the meat was at one time at least recognisable as meat.   these shops proliferated some pubs died and now we feel london road is just another place to avoid, especially from 17:00 onwards

     

     

    we see ecco rd going the same way ..  it'll take a while and some shops will no doubt endure but places to eat ..  we reckon they are just living on borrowed time

    the city center is dying ..  west street nearly has page hall never stood a chance and neither woodseats nor hillsborough are what they once were and in time we reckon the proliferated low quality fast food shops wil make their way towards kelham island...  and no doubt kill that too.


  7.  i know a really good one but its very small they cook a few joints and when they are gone they are gone and getting served there at lunchtime if you have any time constraints is a nightmare.  i go there regularly and i asked about them branching out a little cooking a few more and they happily said they are quite busy enough and certainly don't need any publicity...  so they get none from me but I will try those at sharrow vale and near wilkinsons when the opportunity arises.


  8. one black bin has always proved to more than sufficient so no problem there ..everything goes in that which is seldom more than half full except when it gets filled up with unwanted and unnecessary council grown wind distributed leaves before it goes to the same land-fill or incinerator  as most of the rest of the rubbish ....

     

    i acknowledge that one black bin a fortnight is not enough for everyone but its less waste that we really need not more bins

    I very much doubt that anything would be done if the gamekeepers had broken the law, even with the police present. Landowners have the police and the judiciary in their pockets.

    A few years ago, Barlow hunt hounds ripped an alpaca to pieces. The thread on SF was mysteriously stopped and if you search the Sheffield Star, you'll find no mention of it.

    disappearing news/information  other than being surprising is more or less what i have come to expect.   far too many odd things especially in the countryside take place without apparent media interest.

     

    one minute a small resevoir is a place of outstanding beauty and a nature reserve next minute its gone and yet some summers we are short of water..  where is the sense in that?   and that has happened quite few times around sheffield and derbyshire

     

    but the management of the bits ofcountryside that largely depend on shoots to stay in business are the reason the countryside has its present appearance.  so put up with the actions of those disturbed people that kill for pleasure or watch as braken takes over, and all the arguably ill-effects of that

     

    and do not forget that it is true many of the birds that are shot ( and no  don't agree with it) would never have lived were it not for the shooting and the protection they are given prior to that

    Don't forget to buy sandwich bags, tea lights and tea spoons :)

    given that all sane people accept we use and waste far too much plastic and there is no need for me to explain that and being curious about the Ikea sandwich bags I looked them up.   They are apparently resealable reusable and recyclable which is bette than most but still plastic.

     

    On  a side note one description of them stated that  "the colours are fun"....    One could almost envy people who are so simple and or disturbed that they find different coloured plastic bags to be   "fun"  .     On reflection maybe we should envy them ....their lives must be much more simple.

    You can buy a window sticker that says video  recording inside of car I’ve saw it on cars 

    so they know to look for the camera....  that seems a little counter productive ...  but from what i hear the police don't prosecute even if you have excellent pictures of thieves...... unless you are a bank or business.

    its passed by SCC so the star said,i think they part own it,so its down to cash,i did like the green space,but its called progress and people from all over the world can come and visit the home of football

    has anyone thought to ask if the people that live locally or  pass though regularly really want football heads from all over the world comming to meadowhead it can be bad enough when you get just a handfull of united and wednesday fans in the same place at the same time

    It's more the sat nav and bluetooth handsfree aspects that encourages people to fit them.  Also they interface with other vehicle systems, so climate control, parking sensors, rear camera etc etc etc.

     

    In theory having all that provided by one simple unit is a good design choice, no need for extra add-on modules and stuff.

     

     

    Nah, it's just simply not true.

     

    My mates VW got done a few months ago, they took the sat nav/stereo unit (standard factory fit item) and only that, didn't even open the glovebox, check the boot and back seats or take the spare change out of the centre arm rest.

     

    Happens so often the police didn't attend and when he did speak to someone they knew exactly what had been taken before even looking at the crime report.

    So don't leave ANYTHING of potential interest in the car. 

     

    an aquaintence of mine also takes the steering wheel out of the car at night.  overkill maybe but i'm told she has put a hole and a padlock on the end of the column to prevent someone bringing their own wheel. 

     

    if its not interesting or too much trouble they leave things alone generally ..  these parasites are all a bit dense in that way which is why they are out thieving instead of having a life

    Which electronics store has gone from Fargate?

    and yes, countless eateries - countless because it’s zero?

    which electronics store has gone from fargate? .. if you have to ask that you are probably too yong to have an opinion.

     

    countless eateries.. that rather depends upon the time frame you are using.   there are places in which you could sit down at a table and have your food brought to you which are no longer on fargate .... more recently burger king also pulled out of fargate...  burger king were then and still are a very large junk food chain.  The eating area in mcdonalds on the moor was larger than the current shop.

     

    what was and now is sheffield centre.   haymarket almost gone, not that much on the high street. commercial street was never upto much.  3 banks ..all gone. fitzallen square ..whats there now?

     

    Sheffield center is basically from the almost bottom of the moor and decathalon to the high street end of fargate... mcdonalds and boots. you can count division street in there too but not really west street anymore, book shop art shop killis and a couple of pubs is all  and of course the job center.

     

    Very few independents in sheffield these days the presence of which I regard as a better indication as to the health of a city's economy than the inclusion of various chain stores.   look at leeds or manchester and you can see that in comparison sheffield center is the poor relation and dying slowly.  High charges for parking and not much of it near the center means people go elsewhere and then so do the big retailers.  The independents are always being squeezed out ... revelopment is one cause, removing older and lower affordable rent properties for businesses that were enjoyed but had low turnovers .

     

    my personal view is no secret i am convinced that it is deliberate that the independents are being forced out.. places that repaired damaged things.. forced out..  to make way for the chains which once they have forced out all the independents will in their turn be forced out by the big chains until there little or nothing left but the huge chains and mail order.   Will giant hypermarkets continue or will even they go under to grocery deliveries?

     

    with the best will in the world... i see the future will brown as we rush headlong into corporation earth

    Most Councils are reducing the amount of pay and display machines they have and are switching over to app/mobile payment wherever they can. It saves them money and does away with machines that are a target for theft and vandalism.

     

    Some use Paypoints for people who want to use cash.

     

    If they leave a few machines in some parts of an area, they are fulfilling their obligations to those who don't have a mobile. The stats indicate that 95% of driving age people have a mobile.

    Just another way of taking away the uses for cash.    When all is cashless those of you that fell for it better not waste your time crying you will be having chips stuck in you next...  sheep.

     

    When you get chance start looking at some of the warnings.. maybe just maybe enough people will wake up.

    Should stop using them. Could use a simple app for parking now. That would also make it easier to charge in more busy areas for our greedy council.

    this is a typical kind of comment by  the non-thinking techno nerd.

     

    I would appreciate an explanation of how a   'simple app'   can and should be used to pay ones charge for parking  by those of us that have no need to be regularly encumbered by mobile phones or in many cases find there is no actual need to possess one.

    Brian, you could contact the Archer Project behind the cathedral, or St Wilfreds on Queens Road. 

    though if you have the time and inclination you might when / if talking to some of the homeless discover why they do not all want to be involved with the archer project. in which case again if you have the time you might want to seek out some of the homeless and give them your unwanted items directly.

    To be fair, the Graves Park ward has three Lib Dem councillors who do work to protect the park. Hard battle against a Labour majority led council though.

    so if any of you think that the defence of Graves park is the issue you feel most strongly about then you might want to consider voting lib-dem

     

    remember it has been said it does not matter who you vote for the council will get in... all you can effect is the flavour of the council you want for the next term as whoever is in will carry on much as theyu did before.  This is particularly true of general elections..  don't believe me   you dont have to just ask yourself when did you last see the party that won an election and ousted the  incumbents reverse some of the previous government's policies?

     

    then ask why did they not?

    and then ask .....    then just who is in charge? a question which may not be answered in within our lifetimes


  19. gamekeepers pest controllers wear masks as part of their camouflage when dealing with pests.   I was under the impression that the suspected vandals were people... so no need for masks unless they are up to no good.  people wearing a hoodie are not even allowed to walk through some shops

     

    the masked people we see on tv everyday are almost always terrorists i will therefore consider any masked people that i see to be terrorists if they approach me  they will be ignored and if they touch or obstruct me i will defend myself as though they are terrorists.

     

     

     

     

    the question of the traps... ... .larson traps were mentioned..  and the question of them being there should be the first thing raised... are there to help control vermin or magpies then their deployment is justifiable but i imagine not in public spaces.     magpies which organ ise themselves and hunt in groups are i'm told largely responsible for the reduction in numbers of nearly all the smaller bird species.  so naturalists what do you want...  diversity of wildlife or just mobs of maggies.

     

    if justified and on private land the terrorist thug looking types were right to contact the police and it would appear the the naturists claiming to be do-gooders were in fact suspected of having caused malicious damage and were attempting to flee ( walking away is fleeing) the scene in which case the apparent terrorists were possibly justified in trying to prevent the fleeing of  the 'do-gooders' if they had been advised that they the apparent terrorists were carrying out a citizens arrest.

     

    all gets quite complicated especially when we do not have all the facts

    I have just received a leaflet from the Labour Party outlining "New Investment in Graves Park".

     

    Surely this leaflet is some kind of bad joke.

     

    The plan is to sell a cottage that belongs to the Graves Park Charity and use the proceeds for one of several schemes laid out on the leaflet. They are asking local people to aid and abet this idea by ticking which scheme they would prefer. All are schemes that the council is obliged to fund from its own pocket, not those of the charity.

     

    Unfortunately the land is not the council's to sell. It belongs to the Graves Park Charity. (remember St Lukes). The deeds of the charity say that should any land be sold from the park that it must be used to buy other land of equal or higher amenity value to the park. It does not say that money can be used as a substitute for the council's obligation to maintain the park.

     

    The leaflet claims..Cobnar Cottage is located outsidethe park walls as if this makes a difference. There are walls all over the park and they do not indicate the park's boundaries. If they did Norton Hall would be part of the park.

     

    The leaflet also states that the cottage in need of repair. Indeed it is. This is despite the council having an obligation to maintain the cottage. So neglect of duty is being used as an excuse to sell property that the council does not even own but is obliged to maintain.

     

    What a pity that this leaflet isn't printed on softer paper so that I could put it to some use. Instead I have forwarded it to the Charity Commission so that they are aware of yet another attempted abuse by the charities trustees.

    well said ... and sending it to the charitry commission   good idea I hope it works.

     

    what is it that the council have got against greaves park?

     

    next local election ask your council candidates about their views on greaves park...    though do recall it is not the councillors that run the council and make decisions on behalf of us all that we don't actually want it is the council employees

    Jusat more to go wrong and mostly not needed.   cold turnm the heater up, hot turn it off and open a window.   satnav.. your mobile phone in a cradle..  parking sensors... learn to drive in the first place and quit when you can't.  rear camera....  learn to drive and use your mirrors.... or have it fed to your mobile if you must have it.
